The Bath Fringe Festival is an annual art festival, held in Bath, England. Bath Fringe was founded in 1981 as a counterbalance to the 'classical'-dominated Bath Music Festival, which some people perceived to be elitist and out-of-touch with what a younger local audience wanted. In many ways the Bath Fringe was a direct descendant of the Walcot Festivals of the 1970s and 1980s, which had included elements of theatre, pop festival, ‘happening’, eco-activism and local creativity, supported by Bath Arts Workshop. The festival is among the oldest continually operating in England,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Bath Fringe Festival )〕 and includes around 200 events, taking place around the late May Bank Holiday, running for 17 days at the end of May and beginning of June. ==Organisation== After the initial 1981 fringe festival, it became smaller until by 1991-2 it hosted less than a dozen events. A new group, a cooperative of local artists, promoters, venue managers and audience members revitalised the festival during the 1990s. Bath Fringe tends to try to create other organisations to run specific events or strands, so has variously given birth to: * FAB (Fringe Arts Bath) - the visual arts part of the festival〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fringeartsbath.co.uk/ )〕 * Walcot Independence Day — a large and popular outdoor party with lots of local creativity. No longer taking place〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bathfringe.co.uk/page.php?pageid=75§ion=8 )〕 * Streats — street, outdoor, site-specific, installations, performances in unusual spaces, who run the annual Bedlam Fair street festival, financed through the Fringe. Part of the Independent Street Arts Network.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.streetartsnetwork.org.uk/cn/members/member_detail.php?mid=89 )〕 * Little Fiets – green-powered and activist events like ‘The Wheel Thing’. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bath Fringe Festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
